The OnePoll spokesman added: “It’s perhaps not so surprising that supporters of teams in the Premier League and fans of top bands end up spending so much money on tickets, travel and merchandise over a lifetime.

“But if it makes you happy and it keeps a passion alive, there’s no harm in investing in it to help keep it going.”
